Tapping Into God’s Provision
In the business world, resources are assets that we draw upon in order to function effectively. God has provided resources that are absolutely necessary for us to function effectively in the workplace. First is the provision of the Holy Spirit, who enables us to live life in a way that is impossible with our own natural resources. Next is the Word of God that gives us truth to guide our minds and will and gives us a proper perspective in the way we look at ourselves and our world. Then there is prayer, our point of access to God, 24/7, where we declare our dependence on Him by taking our requests to Him throughout the day. Lastly, there is the resource of a connected body of people that allow us to find support, focus, and encouragement, as we identify with other Christians in our workplace. How are you utilizing God’s resources in your workplace? PMC Consider: “My God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)

.In our FCAP “On the Job…God’s Way” Seminar, we talk about how to accomplish this important principle… and much more. Also available are our monthly IN THE JETSTREAM and the opportunity to participate in our monthly Phone Prayer Conference on the second Tuesday of each month. Information for all these is found on this home page of our web site.
After many years of praying for outreach throughout Latin America, FCAP has experienced our first “On the Job…God’s Way” Seminar in the Spanish language. At the invitation of the pastor of his church in Colombia, South America, Diego (our contact in Latin America) facilitated the seminar with 85 in attendance. We give thanks to the Lord for bringing this to pass. We thank Diego, his church, and all who served as God’s vessels in this exciting outreach.
The people we work around need something more from us, as Christians, than just our opinion of them. We tend to look at people who oppose us, or who act very differently than us, and form an attitude toward them by the way we think of them. God instructs us not to dwell on their behavior, as wrong as it may be, but to seize the opportunity to pray for them … and when an occasion is presented, show them the kindness God has shown us.
